I understand your concern, however, I do not have the know-how to properly combat bots that keep spamming the server and this seemed the easiest way for me to have a functional site. I would love to know some resources for beginners in this regard, if you have them.

arXiv is generally for submitting CS, maths and physics papers. There are alternate preprint repositories like biorxiv.org, chemrxiv.org and medrxiv.org for such purposes. Note: arxiv is the largest, in terms of papers hosted, among these.
Separate non-overlapping pointers into one buffer is not that different from two buffers, notionally, but yeah.
I guess I'm "privileged" or whatever but things worked out in a way that before middle school I knew we could run either Linux or a BSD 4.2 derived OS that was genetically related to the SGI and Sun boxes one of my relatives had.

I always looked at anything in the DOS/Windows noosphere as belonging to a distant and failed civilization, or more simply put: DOS/Windows is for the slaves.
Bedrock has self-hosted servers available too: https://www.minecraft.net/en-us/download/server/bedrock

They're pre-compiled Windows and Linux binaries, but if I'm remembering correctly, I think they're statically linked, and I had no trouble running the Ubuntu one on my Fedora system.

I used to keep a Bedrock server running on my desktop, and my son and I could pop in from a phone, tablet, or laptop whenever we wanted to.

The cause-and-effect here is “is your home country first-world / on a similar standard of living as us, and also not an enemy”.

So Japanese and South Koreans are probably more welcome than Russians, say.
Agree, on two fronts.

Firstly, while pharma collectively spends a lot of money (many, many billions) on drug discovery and development, in the grand scheme of collective global governmental spending, it’s not so very much. If the (e.g.) 20 richest nations got together and shared out the cost according GDP it wouldn’t be too much for them to bear at all.

Secondly, as a race we’re currently very bad at ‘global’ cooperation, especially if it requires ’vision’. Even when there’s a strong incentive to cooperate across borders (like, say, an immediate threat from a global pandemic) we mostly sucked. And even relative success stories coming out of the pandemic, like the development of mRNA vaccines spectacularly quickly, had less to do with global coordination and cooperation than might have been the case. It would be wonderful to start to address this broad topic, and the constant threat from antibiotic resistance would seem like a great place to start, before we get to the stage that any operation brings the threat of death by untreatable infection with it.
I know, I know; daily stand-ups should be simple and they aren't performed like they should be; they've gotten complicated, especially when you need to account for your time. "What [you] did yesterday..." can be a list of a dozen one-offs that sometimes answer the question "Why isn't that ticket done?".

I think Azure itself is having issues right now – that's the story all of my services deployed there are telling at least.
If you feel like you are missing key parts of the argument, like I was, it might help to switch the view from "short" to "long" - there's a little slider on the right hand side of the screen. This adds in some paragraphs that help the piece flow better. (I'd never seen a blog post with this feature before.)
A tutorial would be helpful.

Holding down a note and waiting will cause a second, then a third not to appear. When you move your held, note to another pitch, the other pitches will follow, but with a bit of delay. This produces what is known as staggered voice leading, and produces interesting "in-between" chords.
There's tons of client software that can be exploited if you send a dangerous payload to it. Think of an exploitable version of Curl that will fail if it receives a bad http header.

The most compelling of fiction tends to be compelling because it's based on reality. History is chock full of grand ideas intended to achieve some desired outcome only to create far worse problems than that you aimed to solve.

Irrigation has destroyed entire seas, crop pests have been near exterminated only to learn those pests were eating far more dangerous pests - resulting in mass starvation, and so on endlessly.

This entire idea really seems like the sort of action we're really not thinking through. Even the article points this out... "What’s not easy to quantify is what happens after the CO2-depleted effluent is returned to the sea. Theoretically, if.." To say nothing of the million other possible issues mostly just handwaved away.

They obviously clicked the link, because they posted it.
That is naive. The wealth disparity between nations is so great that if borders were done away with, people from wealthy nations would be able to trivially outspend people in poor countries. Once they own the land and the businesses, political power is theirs. Meanwhile the people from those poor countries might try to do the same in wealthy countries, but wouldn't have the resources for it. It would be katastroika on steroids.
I am glad you liked it!

From a practical standpoint, sailing in the Bay Area is dead boring. There's not that much worth visiting. And once you go outside of the Bay, the next interesting stop is Japan. Puget Sound is way better.

It'd be nice to quantify this somehow. I guess one metric would be "navigable rocky islands"?
Which is why engineers who intend to use the term in their discussions shouldn’t dumb it down or loosely define it in their own words, and cite the definition from authoritative sources, say reference texts.

And whenever it is being used as an argument to reject or approve code, just saying “because cognitive load” should not be accepted as enough. Instead, there should be an accompanying explanation for what exactly in the code raises the cognitive load and what mechanisms come into play that creates the cognitive load according to cognitive science. (Note: I’m using “science” here as opposed to just “psychology”, because the ana/physio of human memory is not exclusive to the domain of psychology.)

Relatedly, I've been using Flutter for this, it works great and the developer experience is top notch, even for iOS development, you should give it a try. Apparently 28% of all new iOS apps on the Apple App Store are actually written in Flutter, according to some independent research that was done, which is pretty wild to me considering that it feels fairly niche compared to React Native, much less native app development, but well, I guess perceptions aren't everything.
I don't want it this way: it mixes a data model concern (timestamps) with a ui concern (calendars). As other have said, it would be much better if we used TAI and handled leap seconds at the same level as timezones.
In my opinion, Spaced Repetition Systems (SRS) are the best way to retain vocabulary - provided you use a good deck (the vocabulary ordering should make sense and, IMO, example sentences are key). I use Anki but there are many alternatives.

Otherwise, immersion through Spanish media helps - you can listen to Spanish music or watch movies/series in Spanish (initially with English subtitles, maybe later with Spanish ones).
Thanks everyone for the suggestions and kind words.

Some details:

The source code for this project can be found on github [0].

I am using an AudioWorklet node with custom DSP using Rust/WebAssembly. Graphics are just done with the Canvas API. The voice leading is done algorithmically using a state machine with some heuristics.

The underlying DSP algorithm is a physical model of the human voice, similar to the model you'd find in Pink Trombone [1], but with some added improvements. The DSP code for that is a small crate [2] I've been working on just for singing synthesizers based on previous work I've done.

And Australia.
(Not OP) I can think of a convoluted and expensive pair-wise comparison method, but I hope there's also a way to figure this out during the application of principal component analysis in a way I don't understand.

Edit: I'm thinking it can't be done without experimentation on the embedding model.

Edit2: Ah, even that might not yield results, because as the basis is derived interstitially through computation, there's no guarantee the features of the final coordinate system will have any accessible relationship to those of the initial basis.

Jokes apart, Mxbai model + Milvus gives fantastic results in fp32, however it's the latency that is an issue here. I could try chopping the fp32 vectors in half without binarizing to see. Thanks!
The more I learn about the computation of time, the more unbelievably complex getting it right seems. I thought I was pretty sophisticated in in my view of time handling, but just in the last couple of months there have been a series of posts on HN that have opened my eyes even more to how leaky this abstraction of computer time is.

Pretty soon we'll have to defer to deep experts and fundamental libraries to do anything at all with time in our applications, a la security and cryptography.
Sorry but buying sequences sounds interesting, how would one go about doing this?
One metric I like to give my team is to have any new PR start a review in less than 15 minutes and be completed within 15 minutes. So, the longest you should wait is about 30 minutes for a review. That means teams either go "fuck it" and rubber stamp massive PRs -- which is a whole different issue -- or they take it seriously and keep PRs small to get their PRs reviewed in less than 30 minutes.

In most cases where I see responses like this, they're not surprised to wait hours or days for a PR review. In that case, it makes sense to go big, otherwise you'll never get anything done. If you only have to wait half an hour, max, for a PR review; the extra code churn is 1000% worth it.
(2020), or perhaps 2021.
The excellent series you link by Devereaux about the decline and fall of the Western Roman Empire, which I've read before, agrees in great detail with the SSC post, except about the etymology of the nomenclature "Dark Ages". I agree that it's a good popularization ("vulgarization" unfortunately has the wrong meaning in current English) of the history, and it is a good demonstration that a popularization if history can still be history. The SSC post is much shorter, so if someone hasn't read either, they should read the SSC post first.

Unfortunately, by being "pretty much in complete disagreement" with my summary, you're also in complete disagreement with Devereaux's series.
>And when they start conscripting in big cities, maybe those "poor" "innocent" Russians will finally do something about their government.

no guns. and that's why your benevolent overlords want to take your guns away too.

I see these snarky reddity comments all the time, and you people seriously fail to grasp the difference between authoritarian shitholes like Russia and China and your glorious liberal democracies, where your cities burn while cops stand around doing nothing because the local government is terrified of bad optics. in Russia, civil unrest gets put down with extreme prejudice.

a regime like that can only fail when even its eunuch servants and attack dogs aren't getting paid and fed. otherwise, your imaginary revolutionaries with sticks, stones and molotovs will get mowed down en masse, the survivors will get 15 years in gulag, and all without a peep from the local media.

Respect is the actual legal definition.... There is no legal distance and it depends and you need to respect peoples privacy. You can definitely camp where you can be seen, but if you can not be seen you are almost certainly in the clear.

It is a tricky subject because you can do a lot on other peoples land as long as you are respectful. I have no problems with people camping on my land especially when they are walking or cycling while car camping is illegal in most instances.
This one is hard to get right. At the end of a class, I'd often be too tired to talk to them more. And it has to be a smallish, very interactive class.

Normally, email providers let you organize into folders. And IMAP (if I understand correctly) DOES NOT allow clients to see those folders and replicate the folder structure.

But Gmail doesn't have "folders". They have "labels". I wont go into all the details about how Gmail labels work that frustrate and annoy me, but the point is that IMAP clients cannot see labels, they can't replicate it on the client end, etc.

This caused a legitimate problem at work when the finance dept. wants to use this service that reads emails to automatically scan invoices into their system and whatnot. They wanted to be able to only have a subfolder automatically imported into the program, because too many of the emails were not relevant to get imported, creating more work to clear them out.

We were not able to achieve a solution with a simple folder for the users to move emails into to get them imported. Instead, we had to set up a second email account specifically for this importing service, and whenever finance wants something imported, they forward the email to that second account.
I would like to note that Linux is the only kernel which will allow you to do this! The Linux system call interface is stable and defined at the instruction set level. Linking against some system library is absolutely required on every other system.

I've written an article about this idea:

https://www.matheusmoreira.com/articles/linux-system-calls

You can get incredibly far with just this. I wrote a freestanding lisp interpreter with nothing but Linux system calls. It turned into a little framework for freestanding Linux programs. It's been incredibly fun.

Freestanding C is a much better language. A lot of legacy nonsense is in the standard library. The Linux system call interface is really nice to work with. Calling write is not that hard. It's the printf style string building and formatting that I sometimes miss.
Laborious but not pointless.

Rust programs have fewer CVEs for two reasons: its safe design, and its experienced user base. As it grows more widespread, more thoughtless programmers will create insecure programs in Rust. They just won’t often be caused by memory bugs.

This is not true about cable TV at all.

Cable TV was first a means to get over the air stations to places where they couldn’t receive it. These stations always had ads

Next, cable started delivering the “Superstations” like the local Atlanta station TBS and Chicago’s WGN which had ads from day one.

The only channels that didn’t have ads from day one were the premium channels like HBO that still don’t have ads.
